zChapter 232: The Changing Days (2/3)
“Uu.” [Angry 1]
“Tch, it’s the forr S-Rank.” [Angry 2]
“Hmph…” [Angry 3]
Until just a while ago, the two groups argued among themselves without giving any regard for the guild staff trying to stop them, but as soon as Wogan-sancalled out, they beca as ek as lambs.
“What happened to all that energy you had awhile ago, huh! If you have sothing to say, then say it.” [Wogan]
“I don’t really have anything.” [Angry 4]
“We were just having a little chat.” [Angry 5]
The guild master’s glare was quite effective, as the two groups started making excuses.
They weren’t reckless or brave enough to go against the guild master himself, but so tinge of dissatisfaction could still be seen on the youngsters’ faces.
They looked about as old as university students, so I’d wager a guess that they’re in their twenties.
Wogan heaved a sigh.
“You boys co here tomorrow at this ti. As punishnt, I’ll have you do so odd jobs under supervision. Until you complete those jobs, you’re prohibited from taking any other job.” [Wogan]
He declared.
“What!? We haven’t even done anything yet!” [Angry 6]
“Exactly! Don’t just decide that on your own!” [Angry 7]
Naturally, the youngsters weren’t happy with his decision.
“I see. If you’re not happy with my arrangents, then you don’t have to co tomorrow. But if you do that, you won’t have to co anymore at all! Because by the authority of the guild master, I will be revoking your qualifications to be adventurers! And you can consider yourselves expelled from the guild!” [Wogan]
The youngsters complained, but the guild master didn’t flinch and expelled them.
“T-This is tyranny!” [Angry 8]
“Yeah! Yeah!!” [Angry 9]
“Enough! My decision is final. You have until tomorrow to think about what you’ve done. If you still don’t think my decision is fair, then you don’t have to co to the guild anymore. For today, you boys should just obediently go ho.” [Wogan]
He gave them a scary look and concluded the conversation with a warning.
When the youngsters got cold feet and backed off…
“Hmm? Ah! Ryouma! You ca!” [Wogan]
…The people blocking were gone, so he was able to notice , and called out to with a smile.
Naturally, given the course of events that took place just now, the people in the guild turned their attention to .
“Good morning. I just got here.” [Ryouma]
“I see. Sorry, I know I called you and all, but can you wait for a bit? I need to clean up the docunts in my room first.” [Wogan]
He’s the guild master, so I’m sure he has a lot of docunts he can’t show to outsiders.
So I told him it was fine, and to just call whenever he was ready, and then he went back in.
The receptionists and the rest of the staff that ca out went back to their respective positions as well.
At this point, I thought the guild would go back to normal, and I would have to find sothing to kill ti, but things took a different turn instead.
“What’s up with the brat?” [Angry 1]
“No idea.” [Angry 2]
“Since when did the adventurers guild beco a playground for kids?” [Angry 3]
“The guild master said he called him, so maybe he’s an adventurer. He’s unard though.” [Angry 4]
“Then maybe he ssed up sohow, and because of that can’t work anymore since he doesn’t have any equipnt left or sothing.” [Angry 5]
“Wasn’t the guild master smiling a bit too much for that?” [Angry 6]
The delinquent adventurers that witnessed my exchange with the guild master started looking at rudely and made so threatening remarks.
“They seed close.” [Angry 7]
“And the kid is wearing so nice clothes too.” [Angry 8]
“Maybe he got an easy job that pays a lot? You know, special privilege?” [Angry 9]
“Favoritism, huh. I don’t like the sound of that…” [Angry 10]
“anwhile, here we are having our work taken from us for so random reason, nyaa.” [Angry 11]
“Because of that our rank won’t go up at all.” [Angry 12]
Even the bad apples from the beastman tribe have started to let their imaginations go wild and mutter rude accusations among themselves.
This might actually turn into sothing really annoying. From the way they’re acting, this might be related to what the guild master wants to talk about.
“Ryouma-kun, the guild master is ready.” [Maelyn]
“Thank you.” [Ryouma]
Maelyn-san, the guild receptionist that often took care of , called out to , and I headed to the guild master’s room.
“Sorry to keep you waiting.” [Wogan]
“It’s fine, I did see the commotion.” [Ryouma]
He signaled at with his hand to take a seat, and I told him what happened earlier while I sat at the sofa.
“I see… Tsk, those guys really aren’t helping themselves.” [Wogan]
“I don’t know if I’ve been marked, but they’ll probably rember at least. Did you call out to and make stand out on purpose? What were you thinking?” [Ryouma]
If I wasn’t imagining things, his smile back then wasn’t just scary, it was quite the mischievous face too.
“You know why I called you here today, right?” [Wogan]
“It’s about cleaning the town, right?” [Ryouma]
Putting together what I’ve been told beforehand…
The climate in this region will soon fill our days with rain and snow.
A job has been posted requesting that the drains built along the town streets be cleaned and inspected.
A part of the delinquent adventurers will be made to help out in the cleaning job as part of their punishnt.
On the day of the job, the guild master along with so trusted people will supervise the delinquent adventurers.
I’ve been asked to help supervise them too, and this eting is taking place to brief on the situation.
That about sums up what I’ve been inford beforehand.
“Awhile ago, you told them to drop by tomorrow, so I’m guessing those quibbling adventurers are part of the delinquents participating.” [Ryouma]
“Yes, but not just them… I’m sure you’ve heard already, but we have our share of issues with the influx of laborers as well.” [Wogan]
“There’s really no end to the list of things to worry about, is there? What kind of people were those adventurers earlier?” [Ryouma]
“From ti to ti, among those guys who leave their hotown, you get so guys who don’t understand how the world works. The earlier group is made up of those kind of people. People who think they’re so big shot just because they were the best at their tiny village.” [Wogan]
“They did have a bad attitude… Are you saying they’re all bark?” [Ryouma]
“Well, they do have experience subjugating monsters from their village, they have potential too, so if they just stopped being so arrogant and trained themselves seriously, they could be quite decent, but unfortunately, the way they’re going, that’s nothing more than a pipe dream.” [Wogan]
The guild master sighed.
“Ah, sorry, I started grumbling again.” [wogan]
“It’s fine. I can lend you an ear if you want.” [Ryouma]
“Ha ha, let’s go for a drink so ti then.” [Wogan]
“Sure.” [Ryouma]
A smile appeared on the guild master’s exhausted face, but he quickly switched back to a serious expression.
“Going back to what we were talking about, I’ll be participating in the job too, but only after tomorrow, and I’ve also hired other people to monitor them. The people participating are all like those guys. They’re full of complaints, and breaking out into fights is normal for them. With soone like you keeping an eye on them, I’m sure a lot of them will try to get sneaky and pick a fight with soone. So, Ryouma, if anyone picks a fight with you on your back today or during work, feel free to beat them up. In fact, please beat them up.” [Wogan]
